[QUOTE="naib, post: 264796"] Well, I survived the re-install. I knew OS X was based on UNIX, but I thought I needed a dedicated UNIX partition to run X-Windows stuff. I installed X11 and did the whole thing Mac OS Extended. If I don't need a UNIX partition I'm a happy camper. BTW, I can't believe how fast I got back up and running. Got all my updates as well. Just a few apps/media to reinstall and I'm done. Thanks for the input all. edit: [b]novicew[/b]: If I have X11 installed, can I run Debian without a Unix partition? I miss apt-get and BlackBox. =) [/QUOTE]
